Glue messes are fun. I can never manage to find them and clean them before they cake onto the surface of where they were spilled... and once they cake on, it's a lot of water and scrubbing, water and scrubbing, more water, more scrubbing.... we will be here a while, my friend.... Did I mention, my kids hide their glue spills under paper or objects? Maybe I should take a lesson from you and more closely supervise crafts...

Hmph, well you know, of course we usually buy Annie's (we totally don't & we've been eating Cheez-Its like they're going out of style)

The last time I wasn't supervising, DD was eating a snack of pretzels & cream cheese (another parenting fail). Looked up from my computer to see a forest on my coffee table. DD had broken all of her pretzel sticks in half, dipped them in cream cheese, and stuck them to the coffee table. I of course pulled a, "WHAT are you doing?!?" To which she responded, "It's a craft project, Mama. Don't be so silly." That was really just par for the course with her.

This also made me remember that when I was a kid, I had an unnatural affinity for coating my hands w/ glue, letting it dry, then peeling it off. Yeah, she gets the weird from me, and clearly it's a "nurture" trait

I used to do that ALL the time with elmers glue. And pretzels with cream cheese is a parenting EPIC WIN. Mmmmmmmmm.

We have had worse than that more than once. For the longest time I banned glue in the house. I was pg the first time and fell asleep, she dumped an entire bottle all over our table which has the slates to expand it so it went all over the floor too.
